[quote=Anonymous] Please don’t stress over this, OP. The entrance exams evaluate IQ type capabilities, not knowledge, and even though preparation is helpful, it won’t make a child get in if he or she isn’t naturally intelligent to begin with. So then it all comes down to time, willingness and money. Personally, I bought a booklet on Amazon because I didn’t think a class was worth it. One child got in, the mire quick-witted one, the other didn’t, because he’s a little slow. I don’t believe more intensive prep would have made any difference, but of course I have no means to test this! I just want to say that it’s all a wash in the end, and people shouldn’t be so jealous/insecure about parents who invest in such classes... :-) [/quote]
